As I already said, there is no compelling reason to stay in /var, and this can be changed without too much breakage - I just couldn’t do that right before the lenny release. I just proposed /usr/lib/pymodules/pythonX.Y instead. Do you think that location is suitable? -- .''`.

More info and interest
Hi, [cross posting to debian-science and debian-python] I want to draw you attention to an RFP that might deserve more attention: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=515319 It is concerned with a Matlab-to-Python "converter". The project aims to aid the conversion of Matlab code to Python. While this software seems to be in a rather early stage of development it has nevertheless the potential to become a mighty tool to facilitate the migration of an unestimable amount of Matlab code to a free language/computing environment and hence a global migration toward the use of free software. These guys published a paper about their compiler in the journal 'Frontier in Neuroinformatics' (open-access as it should be ;) http://www.frontiersin.org/neuroinformatics/paper/10.3389/neuro.11/005.2009/ According to the journals access statistics it receives an impressive amount of attention. It would really cool to have that beast in the flagship of free software (which is Debian for those who wonder ;).

Major update of python-support
Hi, I have just uploaded a new version of python-support to experimental. It includes several major changes: * Installation directory moved from /var/lib/python-support to /usr/lib/pymodules * Public modules moved from /usr/share/python-support/$package to /usr/share/pyshared * Public extensions moved from /usr/lib/python-support/$package/pythonX.Y to /usr/lib/pyshared/pythonX.Y * Private modules are now handled per-file instead of per-directory, allowing exclusions and dealing better with packages sharing a private modules directory I’m pretty confident that the existing packages will work correctly with this new version since the runtime is still very robust (although of course a surprise is always possible). Only the following packages are expected to fail, and I will file bug reports so that a solution is found before python-support goes to unstable: gnumed-client phenny pymol However I wish I could be so sure about building packages, but the metadata format has changed so you can expect some big failures. I have used a few sample packages during my testing, but this is far from enough. As such, it would be very nice if people maintaining various kinds of Python packages could test building them with the new version and see whether the resulting packages actually work. This way, we could avoid triggering dozens of FTBFS bugs when making the change. Thanks, -- .''`.
